Pope Anastasius III (c. 865 — June 913

bishop of Rome and ruler of the Papal States
from April 911 to his death.

Anastasius was a Roman by birth.[2] A Roman nobleman, Lucian, is sometimes recognized as his father, although other sources assert that he was the illegitimate son of his predecessor, Pope Sergius III.[citation needed]

Almost nothing is recorded of Pope Anastasius III, his pontificate falling in the

Saracens, after they established themselves on the Garigliano river.[3] He was buried in St. Peter's Basilica
